Title: Improvements in or relating to the forming of extrusion dies
Inventor: STEWART DAVID EDWARD
IPC: B29C48/30
Filed: 1983-05-24
Abstract: A method of forming an extrusion die comprises forming an extrusion aperture 11 in a die piece 10, forcing a flowable materiat 14 partly through the extrusion aperture so that the leading surface of the material becomes deformed in the extrusion direction, and then removing the exposed surface of the extrusion aperture 11. by chemical or electro-etching, so that the effective axial bearing depth of the extrusion aperture at any location around its periphery corresponds to the deformation of the leading surface of the flowable material at that location. The axial bearing depth of the completed die at any location is thus inversely proportional to the resistance to flow at that location, resulting in substantially uniform flow over the whole of the die aperture.

Title: Method of maintaining availability of requested network resources
Inventor: SLATER ALASTAIR MICHAEL
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2003-06-04
Granted: 2005-12-28
Abstract: The availability of requested network resources in a network of servers, each having associated network-servable resources of a specific kind is maintained. Resource data and resource-serving application software serve out the resource data and dynamically distribute capacity to serve out servable resources between the resource servers dependent on demand for the resources. The capability of the network as a whole to serve out a particular resource dependent upon the level of demand for the particular resource is thereby varied. The capacity to serve out servable resources is distributed between the resources without necessarily moving the resource data itself between the servers by distributing: resource-serving application software and/or installation software adapted to install resource-serving application software.

Title: Voice codification system
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 1978-08-08
Granted: 1982-07-21
Abstract: In a voice coding system each vowel or consonant sound, or phoneme, is divided into repeated similar sections and the analog electrical equivalent of one of those sections is transmitted. If repetitive sections cannot be distinguished, e.g. during unvoiced consonants, a signal is derived from a section of predetermined length. The signal is transmitted in digital form together with signals indicating the number of sections in the phoneme, the intensity of the phoneme, the intensity of each of the repeated sections of the phoneme, any pre-equalisation applied to the speech, and phoneme change. On reception the analog electric equivalent signal is recovered, stored, level controlled, equalised, and repeated the appropriate number of times until a phoneme change is indicated.

Title: Transport apparatus for boards
Inventor: WENGER HARTMUT
IPC: H05K13/00
Filed: 1988-10-13
Granted: 1992-01-22
Abstract: A transport apparatus for boards or workpieces in board form, for example printed circuit boards which are to be coated with plastic, for example UV curable plastic, has advancing means for the transport of the boards and grippers or clamps for seizing the board edges during the transport and advancement of the boards. In order to avoid a risk of damaging the sensitive board surfaces, in particular when transferring the boards from one conveyor to the other, the gripper or grippers or clamps is/are attached to a holding element or rack, releasably coupled to the transporting or advancing means of the apparatus. This holding element remains connected, via its grippers to the board during the complete transport of the latter and can be transferred and reloaded together with the board held by it at transitions from one advancing means to another or from one processing station to the other. The handling of the boards is thus in practice directed instead to its holding elements and consequently the risk which this handling entails is kept away from the boards.

Title: Suction nozzle mounting for a cleaning vehicle
Inventor: BRADLEY RICHARD MAURICE
IPC: E01H1/08
Filed: 1990-06-08
Granted: 1995-03-22
Abstract: A self-propelled sweeper vehicle has a suction nozzle (22) trailed from a front-mounted downwardly extending linkage (80), and is constrained at its rear end by the connection to the suction duct (30). A linear actuator physically shifts in a lateral direction the connection of the linkage to the front of the nozzle, in response to control signals. The steering of the nozzle is related to the steering of the brush gear and/or the vehicle's steerable wheels in an automatic manner. Thus the nozzle maintains a proper relationship to the vehicle and its brush gear in an automatic manner. The steering of the brush gear itself is effected by the driver independently of the vehicle steering, whereby driver control is maximised while unswept trails are minimised. <IMAGE>
